Horoscope for Dec. 9

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Try to engage in taking more protective action that will directly affect your security instead of thinking nothing could ever happen to you. There are always crooked people around.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — An individual you don’t know too well might approach you regarding going in with him/her on an enticing situation. Check things out thoroughly before getting involved.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Continue to do everything in accordance with your highest standards, because the slightest deviation from doing so could get you into all kinds of trouble. Stay on the straight and narrow.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — A lack of care concerning your associations could draw you into a bad involvement with someone who is extremely unethical. It’ll not be a person with whom you want to identify.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t put too much trust in an individual with a questionable reputation. If this person hasn’t stood the test of time, there may be good reason for it. Why take a chance?
